General Hospital (GH) spoilers tease that Nelle Benson Jerome (Chloe Lanier) will inevitably show up again down the road. Nelle just isn’t the kind of character the Corinthos clan can get rid of so easily. GH never let fans see the corpse, so there should be a General Hospital comeback shocker at some point.
Once Nelle most likely reenters the picture, you can bet she’ll bring chaos and continue to manipulate those around her. There’ll be lots of story potential, but let’s take a deeper look at Nelle’s motives for resurfacing. Here are five things Nelle will want when she returns to Port Charles.
1) Attention
Naturally, Nelle will want all eyes to be on her. She loves creating drama and is always eager to score some attention. Remember how Nelle made her dramatic reentrance to PC at Shiloh Archer’s (Coby McLaughling) memorial service?
Nelle was thrilled over all the attention she received as Shiloh’s suddenly free widow. We should see another attention-seeking mission once Nelle’s back from the dead and ready to make a splash.
2) Revenge
Revenge is another obvious motive for Nelle to come back to Port Charles. Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) seems poised to be Nelle’s target all over again – and so does Carly’s secret helper, Jasper “Jax” Jacks (Ingo Rademacher).
Nelle will undoubtedly blame Carly for her cliff fall and gripe at Jax the kidney stealer for helping her enemy cover it up.
3) Freedom
Of course, Nelle’s agenda won’t matter much if she’s caught by the cops and thrown in prison again. Nelle needs a strategy to keep her freedom – and we have faith that she can pull it off somehow. Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) is known for his problem-solving skills and has helped Nelle before, so he might try to do it again for Nina Reeves’ (Cynthia Watros) sake.
4) Love
Deep down, Nelle really does want love in some form. Nina will definitely give it once Nelle comes back home to Port Charles. Based on the story that’s been told so far, Nina already would’ve been receptive to loving Nelle and helping her get a second chance.
She’s only going to feel more maternal once she’s actually proven as Nelle’s bio mom.
Nina should get a mother-daughter reunion eventually, so she can offer up all the love she has in her heart. It’s just a matter of whether Nelle is truly capable of giving and receiving love at all!
Nelle can be a nasty piece of work, but Nina should try to tap into some glimmer of good sooner or later.
5) Wiley
Nelle will also want to be in her son’s life, so her return could certainly affect Wiley Quartemaine-Corinthos (Erik and Theo Olson). Nina might help Nelle as she works to be a better mother figure and become the kind of mom Wiley needs.
That goal would rile up Michael Corinthos (Chad Duell) and Willow Corinthos (Katelyn MacMullen), but Nina’s priority should be her daughter and grandson anyway.
Nelle’s return hasn’t been confirmed yet, but most GH fans fully expect it. When it comes to Nelle, she just won’t quit!
